INTRODUCTION
How it Works
When the dehumidifier is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils.
The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the top louver into the room as dry,
warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a drain bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.
The appliance is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C), and 96°F (35°C). The "Compressor" circuit has
an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the appliance is turned off and on quickly. This prevents over-
heating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure the drain bucket is fitted correctly
otherwise appliance will not turn on.
Energy Saving Guide

WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Using a portable dehumidifier requires that collected water be emptied frequently. Draining water from this unit
can be done in 3 different methods:
1. DRAIN BUCKET METHOD
1. The drain bucket can hold up to 14 pints of water. When the bucket is full, the Full indicator light will light. The compressor and fan will
turn off, the Full indicator will light, and a P2 code will be displayed.
2. It is recommended to turn the unit off before removing the drain
bucket.
3. Grip the left and right handles of the drain bucket securely and
carefully pull out the drain bucket. Do not put the drain bucket on the
floor because the bottom of the bucket is not even which may cause
the water to spill. See Fig.5 and Fig.6.
4. Remove the water from the drain bucket and replace it back to the

WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS
3. WATER PUMP METHOD
One of the key features of this dehumidifier is that it has a water pump that pushes water up or over a longer distance. Using this feature will enable your unit to run maintenance free.
NOTE: The water pump will ONLY engage when the drain bucket is full.
1. Make sure the continuous/gravity drain assembly is removed from the continuous/gravity drain
outlet and the plastic cover is installed.
2. Insert the 16 ft. pump drain hose (included)
into the bottom pump drain outlet (See Fig.14),
then lead the drain hose to a suitable drainage
facility. Make sure that the hose is fully inserted
to avoid water leakage and no kinks which will
cause the water to stop flowing.
3. Press the Pump button to activate the pump operation.
NOTE: The water pump will ONLY engage when the drain bucket is full.
4. The water pump may make some noise when it starts to work within the first 3 - 5 minutes. This is
a part of the unit’s normal operation.
5. Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit.
NOTE: The Pump Indicator Light will flash when there is a failure in the pump operation. Please turn off the unit and
unplug the power cord and check the following points:
Clean the pump filter - remove the drain bucket from the
unit, pull down the pump filter, and clean (See Fig.15).
Check the pump drain hose for kinks or obstructions
Reinstall the pump filter and drain bucket properly. Turn on
the unit. If the error repeats, call for service.

TIPS ON WHEN TO USE YOUR PORTABLE DEHUMIDIFIER
If you have respiratory problems, asthma and allergies, your Whynter RPD-501WP portable dehumidifier is a great
option for controlling moist environments. Creating dry air can keep indoor air pollutants at a more manageable level, especially when used in conjunction with an air purifier. Using your portable dehumidifier can help you save money in the long run because it uses relatively little power and can help furnaces and air conditioners operate more
efficiently.
1. Excess moisture
Indoor environments with excessive moisture can cause mold and fungus to thrive inside the walls and beneath the carpet. Many types of mold are potentially dangerous and can lead to health problems. The Whynter RPD
-501WP portable dehumidifier reduces the amount of moisture in the air inside a home, which makes it far more
difficult for harmful mold to grow. This portable dehumidifier is also effective for a small area, such as a hallway or
bedroom.
2. Respiratory problems or allergies
The Whynter RPD-501WP is a 50-pint portable dehumidifier which is perfect for larger rooms or areas in
your home, including a living room or family room. If your home is musty, you will want to use your portable dehumidifier, especially if you have respiratory trouble or allergies. This unit can also help relieve symptoms by controlling the relative humidity inside your home and a good idea in general if your home has such underlying problems
as a leaky foundation walls or inadequate ventilation or if you live in a humid area. By keeping the relative humidity
indoors below 50 percent, you can keep allergy-inducing dust mites and mold from thriving.
3. Basements
If you have a basement that is below-grade, you should use your Whynter RPD-501WP portable dehumidifier. This dehumidifier will help you keep the moisture levels in your basement down to manageable levels. By doing
this, you can help keep your indoor furnace operating efficiently and even help eliminate minor standing-water problems. Your portable dehumidifier also can help keep furniture and valuables dry, and it will help keep electronics in
proper working order.
4. Humid climates
In humid climates, such as areas near a beach or large body of water, your Whynter RPD-501WP portable
dehumidifier can help keep the environment in your home at a more comfortable level. While the actual temperature
won't be affected, you'll sleep more comfortably and may actually save money, since your unit can keep the indoor
humidity and, thus, your thermostat under control.
